Gadgets

Why are there so many choices for doing something so simple? Ok, I know it is the American way, but it is so overwhelming.

Here's what I want to be able to do, in one machine --- and it ought not be too big:
*use my cell phone service
*use Palm OS (and all the software I have there)
*listen to music
*connect easily to the Internet (via wi-fi, cell phone service, or whatnot)
*access my email account
*post in the blog
*get RSS feeds

I think that is all for now. Am I asking too much?

Flights of Literature

Terry Goodkind: The Pillars of Creation
I have read all the books in this series and thought I'd better catch up with it since he now has the next book out in hardcover. (*****)
Dave Eggers: A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
I have just begun reading this novel. The back of the title page is unique. I hope the rest is just as good.
Anne Lamont: Bird by Bird
The best book ever on what it means and what it takes to be a writer. (*****)
Pamela Ribon: Why Girls Are Weird : A Novel
I did not learn why girls are weird, but I did learn about insecurities that are common amongst many more women than I thought. (****)
Martin L. Gross: The Conspiracy of Ignorance: The Failure of American Public Schools
Affirms many problems I have seen with public education. I only wish it offered solutions to help me change the school system I work in. (*****)
Joe Weisberg: 10th Grade
While it may seem clever to write the way many teenagers write, trying to read it when you are seriously trying to learn something about 10th Graders is annoying. (*)
